Works for me.

I started out sort of synthesizing some 5-string banjo techniques to the guitar, then started studying the Justin HOLLAND method, which was the way people - at least most Americans - played guitar in the mid 1800's. That fits in with my Civil War Reenacting impression, and is pretty much a melodic classical style.

It works pretty well on my gut-strung "Parlor" guitar as well as a Yamaha 12-string that I string up with 6, leaving plenty of space between the strings to fingerpick.
